Anecdotal Notes
from a distance, growing in residential gardens in the township of Cairns. Upon his arrival in the far northern Queensland township of Cooktown, he noticed the same trees were prevalent in the town. He found the best specimen located in the front yard of a house owned by an elderly couple (Colin was the husband) who were happy to provide him with cuttings. Daryl also took a number of photographs which he posted on his website under the name of ‘Cooktown Sunset’, as the red and yellow colouration was reminiscent of a sunset. 25 cuttings were taken by Marilyn and sent to the USA. Found at 94 Hope St Cooktown. Orange and Pink 3-4" with fruity and spicy fragrance. Col is short for Colin, not Colonel. Tall, lanky, snakey and fast grower. Should have low water or it gets rubbery and rot if the soil is too compact. Fruity/spicy perfume....can be pale pink and lemon early season turning red and banana yellow in heat. Vibrant colors in any temperature. Easy to root, easy to bloom, and she has a sweet nice fragrance. Sweet floral coconut scent. Sets seed.
